Atlantic City, N. J, Sept. 28.—"Victory la ae ear* a* tomorrow's sun,*'
declared Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary ef agriculture, while address-
lag the American Bankers' association here today.
The only question Is .hew soon our
triumph wat come. Thi* is a food
war ■ now, and," he continued, "we
..have tfce food even though we are
I facing war's most dreadful handmaiden, famine.
"It la net ear famine, but tbat of a
sisterhood ot nation* far we know
' pat millions ot ear fellowmen are
starring. In fact, this dread mother
of pestilence ie onr greatest tee.
"St ti*t w"*r *** t0 De woa, we shall
Mte to put several armies in the
field—the army of soldier* in the
trenches, the army ef food producers
in the' furrows, the women's army of
food conservers and a patriotic army
ef civilians in the business and polities! world.
"Merer before bas the business men
of a nation shown such patriotism
aa' they have shown in the United
Ststee during the pest three months.
This, with ttae exception. The chairman ef the shipping board, the secretary af 'tfc* navy and tfce Council of
National Defense were forced te engage ia a band to band struggle with
W organisation of unpatriotic magnates. .'■
"Evidently even this greet nation is
not entirely tree from tories, jankers
and disloyal reactionaries.
"This wsr is going te mean to onr
nation a rebirth. All business and
industry is going to be raised to a
gher standard and every citizen
fails'- to participate ta this pat
lotto movement ia a slacker and a
'§aya»Ue.
"Tbe nation calls today for a mrm
ber of volunteer* to fight in the business world and at the ballot box, te
make Ure conduct of this war as
clean and as patriotic, as heroic and.
telf-sacrlflclng ta ths business world
at bome as lt Is in the trenches of
France and Flanders." Tbe Bases-
slly ahd importance of agricultural
preparedness waa emphasized by Joseph Hirsh, chairman et tha agricultural committee, ln hia annual report.
He alludelap farming as "the great-
est buslne7 \f this country," adding
"that the _. akers are acting ea tfce

Tbe region south of Tower Hamlets and Polygon Woods have beea

enemy artillery continues active.
Frightful carnage continued early
today ln tbe attempt by - Oerman
Prince Rupprecht ef Bavaria to regain Field Marshal Haig's newly won

mtt reckless abandon snd frenzied
determination the German commander sent regiment after regiment in
massed divisions against a non resisting British-Australian BBS, only
te aee tfce few who returned climb
high ever tfce bullet riddled bodies et
their comrades. The British beld
every position they had captured. The

Today's fighting waa featured by
increased audacity et the British sir*

At surprisingly lew levels deeper-
Ma air battles were fought A dozen

Atlantic Ctty, N. T., SepL 28—Germsn money left tn the United States
by Count Ten Bernstorff when be
was handed hia passports still is financing Oerman propaganda In this
country. Secretary ot Treasury W. G.
McAdoo so Informed the American
Bankers Association hi e ringing
speech in which he again reviewed
the reason why the nation weat to
war aad explained in detail the great
flnfff*? program which the move entailed.
Secretary McAdoo reviewed the dispute between Germany and Om U- S.
lanWIni the consistent violation of aB
the principles of International law by
Germany. He reviewed tbe promises
made when the Lusltania waa sunk;
the violation of these promises; tlm
repudiation of the sinking of tfce Arabic without warning to th* final pro-
mlse which culminated hi tfce United
States aeeepting the guage of Om battle forced upon lt.
"We chose to fight and why" continued the Secretary. "Because flrat,
national honor and self respect imperatively demanded it, and second,
because we can never concede the
right of any nation, however powerful
te order American vessels ana American citizens to keep off the high seas
aad prevent America from selling the
surplus products of the farm, of the
factory and the mine to other nations
et tfce world.
"If we had tamely submitted te that
order, lt would have brought disaster
and rain to the American people."
"Such action," the secretary .said,
would have "established a fateful precedent aad have destroyed American
commerce valued at to exceed 13,400,-
000,000." The war. therefore, be said,
iii righteous wsr-
The problem facing tbe United
States, the secretary said Is two-feld:
"To supply essential credits to the
allied governments, because tt Is vital to tbe cause thst their strength
and credit Mill'be sustained and secondly, te meet onr own requirement*."
The secretary thea reviewed at
length the flltem***! program now before congress all details ef which already have been made public. He
defended exemption of the bond* from
normal taxation because he said a
higher late than tear percent wonld
have been necessary if tbe bonds
were taxable aad this would have
greatly interferred with and have
csaaSd a break fas the general security market.- U Innreosod interest
must come later, the secretary said,
the present issues sre convertible and
he termed the m"*matchiess securities."
The resources of the U. fl. were
recited by Secretary McAdoo as:
"Combined resources of nstlnaal
and elate banks and treat companies
—$47,000,000,000.
Farming and agricultural products

Comparing these figures with tbe
civil war financing the secretary declared that upon that basts the government should be able te raise now
through government - loans and stupendous total of 174,000,000,000. He
haaevai. added significantly:
"I am not suggesting thst tbat be
done; I am only drawing a comparison." - .
The secretary then made aa Impassioned plea te all bankers te aid In
the coming liberty loan.
"We must make tbis loan a success," he continued. "We /__n make
it e success. The failure of a (ingle
Issue of government bonds weald be
worse tar America than a disaster upon the field ef battle. We must never tot that bappen.

Captain Gyger is Elected
Major—84 Men Enroll *
for Service
Many Alliance people will no doubt
be sup*—ed to learn that this elty
has an armed military organization
known as The Alliance Home Guard,
the Instituting of which body was
completed at a meeting held Thursday evening et the city building, at
whleh time the enrollment sheets
showed a membership of ninety-four
men. These lists constituted a basis
upon which the formation of a battalion of two companies, was'organized. Tha * necessary officers were
elected by popular vote of those present aad tbe men duly sworn ln ss
special police officers tor the elty
saWact to a eall from tbe mayor or
chief of police, this giving the city a
protective body ot no small proportions. .,.5-|^>
The organ!Batten of tba Alliance
Beats Guard had origin ln a move
meat Instituted by the members ef
Crubaugh Camp No. 19, United
Spanish War Veterans, some weeks
ago when the members realised that
after the departure of Company K,
Eighth Obio Infantry, for servloe in
the German-American war,—that tha
eity would be without protection from
lawlessness- aside from the services
ef tfce small number of men who constitute th* regular police force, and
which body although fOV-fitf wonld
perhaps be unable owing to Ha limited numbers to cope with disorder of
*Kf great magnitude. Upon investigation it was found that the state aad
national governments were making
ao provision at thte time to organise
troops to take tbe place ot the
soldiers who are leaving for war service. Thi* evidenced tbe fact that
any action taken at present wonld
bave to be through tlm civil authorities of the city gad It was learned
that a force, if organised, could be
given police power to be used in aiding tbe I saltier officers. The plan was
suggested te slayer Westover eae
Chief of Police Oswalt who readily
appro-red lt. The need of quick work
In order to be ready tm service as'
soon as Company K departed, was apparent and three enrollment sheets
were prepared and these used ln getting sufficient signers to warrant a
meeting which, ae stated above, waa
held Thursday evening.
Another thing whleh eaased a
speedy organization of the Home
Guards Is that many reports base,
Maa heard of alleged threats made
by transient residents of the city
especially among some Of the colored
mea wte. have been imported for
local industries. The police records
of the last few months show that.
several murders and various other
crimes bave been committed by this

to place the suffrage referendum oa

Fulton announced that 81,609 sufficient signatures bad been filed trees
sixty counties. Each county submitted
not less than 3 per cent of its voting
strength.
Aboat 70,000 valid Signatures were
needed to insure the submission of
the referendum.
Contracts for printing referendum
ballots will be let in some of Ite
larger counties tomorrow. Practically
all counties will arrange for printing
the ballots before the end ot aeat
week. Fulton is perfecting arrangements to permit Ohio's soldiers of
which there will be more than 75,000
at Camps Sherman and Sheridan and
at Fort Bentjamin Rarrlson to vote
on the referendum. Fattens certification to the election boards of tte
form of the official referendum ballet follows:
"I do hereby certify that a referendum petition containing the required
percentum of signatures of electors
ef the state* and from the number of
counties in the state as required by
the constitution of Ohio, ordering the
foregoing act (the Reynolds presidential suffrage act passed this year)

Mtowlng the form of. ballot prescribed for voting on constitutional
questions, Fulton haa decreed tha
the voters shall vote only "yes" or
"no." This, he believes will reduce
possibility ef confusing voters to a
minimum. Heretofore on referendum
ballots the words "for" ead "against"
were used as applying to the law,
act, affected by the referendum. As
a consequence, many voters misinterpreted these words as equivalent as
"yes" and "no" and applying directly
to the referendum Instead ef te the
act itself.

Atlantic Ctty, N. T., SepL 28—Germsn money left tn the United States
by Count Ten Bernstorff when be
was handed hia passports still is financing Oerman propaganda In this
country. Secretary ot Treasury W. G.
McAdoo so Informed the American
Bankers Association hi e ringing
speech in which he again reviewed
the reason why the nation weat to
war aad explained in detail the great
flnfff*? program which the move entailed.
Secretary McAdoo reviewed the dispute between Germany and Om U- S.
lanWIni the consistent violation of aB
the principles of International law by
Germany. He reviewed tbe promises
made when the Lusltania waa sunk;
the violation of these promises; tlm
repudiation of the sinking of tfce Arabic without warning to th* final pro-
mlse which culminated hi tfce United
States aeeepting the guage of Om battle forced upon lt.
"We chose to fight and why" continued the Secretary. "Because flrat,
national honor and self respect imperatively demanded it, and second,
because we can never concede the
right of any nation, however powerful
te order American vessels ana American citizens to keep off the high seas
aad prevent America from selling the
surplus products of the farm, of the
factory and the mine to other nations
et tfce world.
"If we had tamely submitted te that
order, lt would have brought disaster
and rain to the American people."
"Such action," the secretary .said,
would have "established a fateful precedent aad have destroyed American
commerce valued at to exceed 13,400,-
000,000." The war. therefore, be said,
iii righteous wsr-
The problem facing tbe United
States, the secretary said Is two-feld:
"To supply essential credits to the
allied governments, because tt Is vital to tbe cause thst their strength
and credit Mill'be sustained and secondly, te meet onr own requirement*."
The secretary thea reviewed at
length the flltem***! program now before congress all details ef which already have been made public. He
defended exemption of the bond* from
normal taxation because he said a
higher late than tear percent wonld
have been necessary if tbe bonds
were taxable aad this would have
greatly interferred with and have
csaaSd a break fas the general security market.- U Innreosod interest
must come later, the secretary said,
the present issues sre convertible and
he termed the m"*matchiess securities."
The resources of the U. fl. were
recited by Secretary McAdoo as:
"Combined resources of nstlnaal
and elate banks and treat companies
—$47,000,000,000.

Comparing these figures with tbe
civil war financing the secretary declared that upon that basts the government should be able te raise now
through government - loans and stupendous total of 174,000,000,000. He
haaevai. added significantly:
"I am not suggesting thst tbat be
done; I am only drawing a comparison." - .
The secretary then made aa Impassioned plea te all bankers te aid In
the coming liberty loan.
"We must make tbis loan a success," he continued. "We /__n make

Many Alliance people will no doubt

has an armed military organization
known as The Alliance Home Guard,
the Instituting of which body was
completed at a meeting held Thursday evening et the city building, at
whleh time the enrollment sheets

upon which the formation of a battalion of two companies, was'organized. Tha * necessary officers were

The organ!Batten of tba Alliance
Beats Guard had origin ln a move
meat Instituted by the members ef
Crubaugh Camp No. 19, United
Spanish War Veterans, some weeks
ago when the members realised that
after the departure of Company K,
Eighth Obio Infantry, for servloe in
the German-American war,—that tha
eity would be without protection from
lawlessness- aside from the services
ef tfce small number of men who constitute th* regular police force, and
which body although fOV-fitf wonld
perhaps be unable owing to Ha limited numbers to cope with disorder of
*Kf great magnitude. Upon investigation it was found that the state aad
national governments were making
ao provision at thte time to organise
troops to take tbe place ot the
soldiers who are leaving for war service. Thi* evidenced tbe fact that
any action taken at present wonld
bave to be through tlm civil authorities of the city gad It was learned
that a force, if organised, could be
given police power to be used in aiding tbe I saltier officers. The plan was
suggested te slayer Westover eae
Chief of Police Oswalt who readily
appro-red lt. The need of quick work
In order to be ready tm service as'
soon as Company K departed, was apparent and three enrollment sheets
were prepared and these used ln getting sufficient signers to warrant a
meeting which, ae stated above, waa
held Thursday evening.
Another thing whleh eaased a

Fulton announced that 81,609 sufficient signatures bad been filed trees

not less than 3 per cent of its voting
strength.
Aboat 70,000 valid Signatures were
needed to insure the submission of
the referendum.
Contracts for printing referendum

larger counties tomorrow. Practically
all counties will arrange for printing
the ballots before the end ot aeat

which there will be more than 75,000
at Camps Sherman and Sheridan and
at Fort Bentjamin Rarrlson to vote
on the referendum. Fattens certification to the election boards of tte
form of the official referendum ballet follows:
"I do hereby certify that a referendum petition containing the required
percentum of signatures of electors

counties in the state as required by

Mtowlng the form of. ballot prescribed for voting on constitutional
questions, Fulton haa decreed tha
the voters shall vote only "yes" or
"no." This, he believes will reduce
possibility ef confusing voters to a
minimum. Heretofore on referendum
ballots the words "for" ead "against"
were used as applying to the law,
act, affected by the referendum. As
a consequence, many voters misinterpreted these words as equivalent as
"yes" and "no" and applying directly
to the referendum Instead ef te the
